PropertyEU Magazine December 2012

The December edition of PropertyEU Magazine leads with a special report on our Outlook 2013 investment briefings in London, Paris and Frankfurt.

Europe's real estate industry faces a grim year in 2013 as values continue to fall, finance remains strictly rationed, demand stagnates and investors cling to the sidelines in the hope of better times ahead. Read the views expressed by market experts during the investment briefings held in November.
